What's Wrong With You?

-49-

Roman woke up to the sound of continuous knocking at the door. He sat up, still not being able to keep his eyes wide open as they were heavy and swollen from crying. He let out a groan, pressing his fingers onto his forehead and massaging it gently. He had had a long nap but he didn't want to wake up all of a sudden like that. He got out of the bed rubbing his sleep off his eyes and walked sluggishly towards the door. He pulled the door open and looked outside it with shrunken eyes. "Hi!" said Seth with a happy grin, standing on the other side of the door. He was dressed how he usually dressed like at home- T shirt and shorts.

"Oh hey, Seth. What's the matter?" asked Roman in an extremely faint voice.

Seth's face had a look of concern as he observed how Roman's hair was all messy and his eyes were swollen and red. "What would be the matter? Of course, I've come to watch Smackdown with you." said Seth, trying to smile again.

"Oh," said Roman getting aside for Seth to get in. "Get in. Its just 5:30 and we still have got a lot of time."

"I know... I just came here early so that you won't get too surprised by my sudden plan of watching Smackdown together." said Seth, walking into the room. "What do I do? Looks like I disturbed you while you were sleeping and you could've slept some more if I hadn't shown up."

"No problem, I had been in bed since 2 hours or something. Come, sit here." said Roman walking towards the bed as he wanted to lie down again. "Ah, I'm so tired..." he said, throwing himself on bed again.

Seth sat down next to Roman on the bed and heard Roman sniff hard right then. "Hey! Since when has your nose been runny? Are you okay?" he asked out of concern.

"I'm okay, Seth." said Roman in a deep croaky voice.

Seth slowly laid himself down on the bed and said, "Even your eyes looked too reddish, like they were watering. By any chance... Were you crying?"

"Huh?" gasped Roman, lifting his head up a bit. "No I wasn't, I was just too sleepy and tired." He sniffed again. Seth kept staring at Roman while Roman started to speak again. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to act like that, especially when you're here. We should be hanging out right now, as you said, but you're lying in bed because of me being too much slow and lazy... -"

"You're not being lazy, Roman. You're just tired. We still have time until the show starts. Why don't you sleep more until then?" Seth soothed Roman.

Roman placed his head back onto the pillow and closed his eyes. Seth sighed staring at the ceiling as he was lying down next to Roman without having his body covered in a blanket.

Roman woke up again after 20 minutes or so. As he remembered Seth was with him a while ago, he immediately turned to his side to find Seth lying asleep next to him. He felt extremely embarrassed about how he brought Seth into the room and then just fell asleep because he was too tired to remain awake. And also because Seth too fell asleep out of boredom, that too without a blanket. Roman clicked his tongue and ran his fingers through his hair. He felt like it was really a bad day for him. He then tried not to make a sound and started to spread out his blanket towards Seth's direction. He slowly covered Seth up with the blanket trying not to wake him up while he was sleeping. On the contrary, Seth stirred awake as soon as the cover touched his skin. "Oh my oh my," he gasped as he awoke.

Roman quickly pulled away from Seth, getting startled. Seth looked at Roman and then tried to smile at him. "You woke up? I fell asleep, I'm so silly,"

Roman stared at Seth confusingly, rather doubtfully. Why did it look like Seth was acting strange today? "That's okay! I too fell asleep even though you were here so... it's just more silly."
